How to Celebrate Your “Yes God” Pastor | Sermon Only | Pastor Dr. D.Z. Cofield

About this sermon

Using the story of Ananias and Saul in Acts 9, Pastor D.Z. Cofield teaches that a pastor who continually says “Yes, God” becomes a catalyst for transformation in the lives of others. Before Saul could become the Apostle Paul, God used Ananias—a faithful believer who heard God's voice, obeyed His instructions, and ministered despite fear and uncertainty. Pastor Cofield challenged the congregation to honor and celebrate Bishop Keith W. Reed Sr. as a “Yes God” pastor whose faithfulness, obedience, and willingness to follow God's leading have blessed countless lives. He emphasized that the greatest way to honor a pastor is not merely through words or celebrations, but by living a “Yes God” life ourselves. Key Points 1. Celebrate Your Pastor’s Sensitivity to Hear God Ananias responded immediately when God called his name: “Yes, Lord.” Effective spiritual leadership begins with hearing God's voice and responding to His direction. 2. Celebrate Your Pastor’s Willingness to Go Where God Sends Him God instructed Ananias to go to Saul, becoming the answer to Saul’s prayer. Great leaders are willing to go where others are unwilling to go in order to fulfill God's purpose. 3. Celebrate Your Pastor’s Obedience Even When Ministry Is Difficult Despite his concerns about Saul’s reputation, Ananias obeyed God. True discipleship requires obedience even when God’s instructions are uncomfortable or difficult. 4. Recognize That Your Pastor’s “Yes” Helps Others Say “Yes” Because Ananias obeyed God, Saul's life was transformed. A pastor’s faithfulness inspires and equips others to walk in their own calling and obedience. Memorable Quote “The greatest gift you can give your pastor is a ‘Yes God’ life.” Invitation Pastor Cofield concluded by challenging believers to move from the “no zone” into a lifestyle of surrender and obedience, committing themselves to say “Yes, God” more fully than ever before.
